The Silurian, Book Three: LONGHAND, WHITE-TOOTH, AND THE FOX A GREAT PRINCE ARISES The Fox is taken prisoner by the Dynasty of Cadwallon Longhand, and his cruel and ambitious brother, Owen White-tooth, both of the powerful clan of the Gwynedd Gododdin, who seek to keep Arthur from rising to take absolute rule of Britain as Imperator. The Men of Gwynedd force the Fox into the army of Cadwallon Longhand to fight for the Hound Clan, where he is used in the hope of thwarting any further rise of Arthur's power, for only Bedwyr knows how Arthur fights and wins, only Bedwyr knows the Silurian's heart and way, and for it, Longhand imprisons the Fox in his stronghold of Rhos: here Bedwyr is forced to marry into the Dynasty of Longhand and White-tooth, here he is abused and beaten. Away from Arthur's battles, the Fox's journey is arduous. And it is here, separated from his beloved foster-brother that Bedwyr becomes a powerful prince and warrior in his own right: a man that other warlords fight over to gain for themselves the power of the Fox's sword-arm. But Bedwyr is sworn only to Arthur, and he waits for the inevitable day when Arthur invades Gwynedd with his army to claim back his lost brother.

The Silurian, Book 2: THE KING OF BATTLES: AN INVINCIBLE COMMADER ARISES Arthur is now Supreme Commander of Armies in Britannia and just about to begin his annihilating South Saxon campaign, leading his army, now known as the Clan Bear, into the south coast weald where the Saxons have made inroads into British territory. On this campaign, Arthur and his young warrior army destroy the Saxons in battle after battle, a ruthless campaign of fire and superior tactics that pushes the Clan Bear to their limits, pushing the Fox into days of battle-madness and wild anguish as he fights and kills in a relentless need to be Arthur's greatest warrior and champion. And yet it is Medraut, Arthur's cousin, who is pushed too hard and too far, as now, traitors sworn to Medraut's side begin to arise from within the ranks of Arthur's army--traitors too small to threaten Arthur's power now. Still unassailable in his rise, the legend of Arthur as an invincible warrior has already begun, and he breaks the Saxons, and returns home victorious; but not without payment to be had. In the aftermath of battle, it is time for the Bear to return to his land of birth, to Siluria, and there seek out the last living souls of his mother's people; those who survive from their battles against Arthur's father, Uthyr Pendragon. Yet going home causes even more troubles for both Arthur and Bedwyr to overcome, troubles that charge the two young warriors into the sinister hearts of traitors, whose rebellion forces the Fox and the Bear to become more than warriors, but killers.

THE SILURIAN Book 3: LONGHAND, WHITE-TOOTH, AND THE FOX A GREAT PRINCE ARISES The Fox is taken prisoner by the Dynasty of Cadwallon Longhand, and his cruel and ambitious brother, Owen White-tooth, both of the powerful clan of the Gwynedd Gododdin, who seek to keep Arthur from rising to take absolute rule of Britain as Imperator. The Men of Gwynedd force the Fox into the army of Cadwallon Longhand to fight for the Hound Clan, where he is used in the hope of thwarting any further rise of Arthur's power, for only Bedwyr knows how Arthur fights and wins, only Bedwyr knows the Silurian's heart and way, and for it, Longhand imprisons the Fox in his stronghold of Rhos: here Bedwyr is forced to marry into the Dynasty of Longhand and White-tooth, here he is abused and beaten.

Set in the Dark Ages of Post-Roman Britain, The Silurian is the story of King Arthur told in a compelling new voice. A first person narrative, spoken in grim and graphic detail by Arthur's closest friend and foster-brother, Prince Bedwyr, the Fox. A boy of sixteen, taken to his first great conflict, Bedwyr begins his story on the battlefield where Arthur lies missing after having won his first engagement to war against the invading Saxons, Hengist and Horsa. This is the Fifth Century AD, a time of fierce honesty, as Bedwyr's own words speak it, the words of a young warrior who lives his life in the blood, guts, turmoil and love of an age that was both brutal and brilliant.

A YOUNG WARLORD ARISES Arthur, at age fifteen, has won a great battle between British and Saxon forces, seizing the day from his own supreme commander, Ambrosius Aurelianus. This his first battle win inspires the young Arthur to begin his rise to take full control of Britain's armies with the aid of his first cousin, Medraut, the son of Lot, Uthyr's Pendragon's younger brother. Yet Arthur's rise becomes Bedwyr's greatest challenge: Prince Bedwyr, called the Fox, and Arthur's foster-brother, is the narrator of 'The Silurian' series, and it is through his eyes, through his power and passion, that the great saga of Arthur's life in seen and told. Yet life with the charismatic Arthur is not always easy for the Fox-for Arthur is a challenge in himself. And when Arthur's power rises, Bedwyr's life begins a downward slide into rebellion, and he leaves on a lone path of confusion to fight his inner demons, to find who he really is as his great friend and foster-brother rises higher and higher-high enough for the young Arthur to face his own father, Uthyr, in battle for the right to fly the Red Dragon banner of the Pendragon Warlords. Arthur's battles will one day make Bedwyr the Fox a hero, if only he can stand firm as Arthur's first man, his shield-bearer and brother-in-arms; stand to tell the tale of The Silurian in his own passionate words.
